Will Primus IQ Brake Controller Fit a 2012 Jeep Liberty with Factory Tow Package and 7-Way

Question

Question:

I recently ordered this brake controller based on reviews When ordering i did not notice something that i see listed now, On the page of brake controllers listed by vehicle style I see some listed as with 7 way factory and some listed as without 7 way factory. My vehicle is a 2012 Jeep liberty Altitude. It does have factory tow package and 7 way connector. Am i going to have to return # TK90160 and get a different one?

No, you can still use the Primus brake controller # TK90160 on your 2012 Jeep Liberty with the factory tow package and 7-Way. Brake controllers are not vehicle specific whether or not it has a factory tow package or 7-Way dictates what additional parts may or may not be needed.

For example on your vehicle some models will require a wiring kit to run wire to the battery. This may require drilling a hole in the firewall to run the wire. You may use kit # 5506 which includes 20, 30, and 40 amp breakers.
